Abstract

A method for examining visible skin conditions is shown. A housing (101) is located at a region of a visible skin condition and image data of the skin over this region is captured. Electric fields (2001, 2002) are generated that penetrate the skin over the region, such that an application of the apparatus produces both image-related signals and electric field related signals for the same skin condition. Depth of skin penetration of the visible skin condition may be assessed by calculating the surface area of the visible skin condition from the image data and determining the volume of the visible skin condition from the electric field related signals and processing the calculated surface area in combination with the determined indication of volume to assess the depth of skin penetration. The electric field generating device may comprise a first dielectric substrate (301) having a hole (302) and the capturing step may be performed by a camera (501) viewing the visible skin condition through this hole.
